Flood Control project was needed to provide flood protection to the cities of Palo Alto and East Palo Alto. Teichert Construction partnered with an unprecedented 32 agencies and stakeholders, including more than 60 decision makers, to work through a multitude of issues on the extremely challenging job.

Emergency Recovery Project is a tale of two spillways with one unwav-


ering challenge – time. In less than 18 months, Kiewit Infra- structure West Co. completed an emergency repair and rebuild of two massive spillways for the California Department of Water Resources at the nation’s tallest dam.


Te project


was required after heavy rain and snowmelt compromised the main spillway and damaged the emergency spillway, leading to the evacuation of nearly 200,000 people. On the main


spillway, crews demolished most of the remaining existing concrete spillway, excavated soil and rock to reach a solid rock foundation and batched and placed more than 340,000 cubic yards of RCC to fill the excavation. Tey also batched and placed nearly 140,000 cubic yards of structural and leveling concrete to reconstruct the spillway structure. Primary work at the emergency


spillway included construction of a 700,000-cubic-yard RCC splashpad, totaling 1.2 million square feet. Tat is supported by a 1,450-foot-long underground secant pile wall, built into bedrock at depths of 35 to 65 feet. Kiewit and DWR disproved


the skeptics, finishing phase one on schedule and completing the second phase ahead of schedule. Also selected as finalist in this category


was Dragados USA Inc.-Flatiron West Inc.-Sukut Construction Inc., A Joint Venture for “Calaveras Dam Replacement Project,” Flatiron-Kiewit, A Joint Venture for “Presidio Parkway Phase 2,” and Skanska-Rados, A Joint Venture for “Exposition Light Rail Transit, Phase 2.”
